3 Palms Tucson North Foothills
This is an older property which has been updated. The King Suite is tiny but we were thankful to have a refrigerator. Pool area was clean and a pleasant place to sit after a day of hiking. Happy Hour is a joke- you ask for drinks, beer or wine and it is $3. No breakfast. We had to ask for towels ...
